My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Richie is an adult neutered male that weighs 53 lbs. Likely 5 years + . He was found strapped to a pole abandoned by the owner! He is microchipped and registered but owner never responded to calls. A kind person took him in and held him in there empty house (rental) and he did well alone! Housetrained trained. Barks at the door when has to go potty. Seemed fine while interacting with male and female dog. We were asked to take him into our Rescue and agreed! Such a sad incident for Richie! He has been fine here at our rescue! He needs a human to adopt him that will not abandon him again! If you are interested in meeting or adopting Richie please text Casey at 570-441-0083. We adopt to the general public but we also adopt to military veterans with adoption fee waived in order to provide our heroes with companion or emotional support dogs . Our other adoptable pets our posted on our website as well as the very brief (5 minutes) application form. https://rescuepetsservingvets.org.

More about this rescue

We are a small group of volunteers that rescue pets with medical needs from a kill shelter. We treat them at our associated Vet clinic and make sure they are spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Pets are then put up for adoption and we try and match them with the right owners. We give special priority to veterans and we begin service dog training while pets are with us. Pets are fostered in our homes or at the Veterinary Clinic until homes are found.
